US President Elect Trump Announces Plan To Deport 3 million Ilegal immigrants

In a "60 Minutes" interview scheduled to air Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump said he planned to immediately deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants after his inauguration in January.

"What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," Trump told "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by CBS. "But we're getting them out of our country. They're here illegally."

Stahl had pressed Trump about his campaign pledge to deport "millions and millions of undocumented immigrants." Trump told her that after securing the border, his administration would make a "determination" on the remaining undocumented immigrants in the country.

"After the border is secure and after everything gets normalized, we're going to make a determination on the people that they're talking about -- who are terrific people. They're terrific people, but we are gonna make a determination at that," Trump said. "But before we make that determination ... it's very important, we are going to secure our border."

His comments echoed those he had made at the start of his campaign: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump had said last June when he announced his candidacy. "They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

Trump's campaign promises also included fully repealing the Affordable Care Act, forcing Mexico to pay for a border wall and banning Muslims from entering the U.S.

Since winning the election, Trump and his key advisers have been backing away from some of those promises, and Republican leaders who made the Sunday political-show circuit seemed to approach the issue of mass deportations more cautiously.Regarding his border wall plans, Trump told Stahl on "60 Minutes" that he would accept fencing along some of the border, as Republicans in Congress have proposed.

"For certain areas, I would. But for certain areas a wall is more appropriate," Trump said. "I'm very good at this. It's called construction."

CBS had released on Saturday two preview clips of same "60 Minutes" segment, Trump's first televised interview since winning the election last week.Seated with his wife, Melania, and his four adult children, Trump spoke to Stahl about his seemingly shifting position on Obamacare, saying he would try to preserve key parts of the health care act, and also praised Hillary Clinton as "very strong and very smart."

In the interview with Stahl, Trump did not rule out calling both of the Clintons for advice during his term.

"I mean, this is a very talented family," he said. "Certainly, I would certainly think about that."

Trump also reiterated on "60 Minutes" that he may keep portions of the Affordable Care Act, something he had mentioned he might do after meeting with President Barack Obama in the White House on Thursday.

When Stahl asked whether people with pre-existing conditions would still be covered after Trump repealed and replaced Obamacare, Trump said they would "because it happens to be one of the strongest assets."

"Also, with the children living with their parents for an extended period, we're going to... very much try and keep that," Trump added, referring to portions of the health care act that cover children under their parents' insurance through age 26. "It adds cost, but it's very much something we're going to try and keep."

When Stahl questioned whether there would be a gap between the repeal of Obamacare and the implementation of a new plan that could leave millions of people uninsured, Trump interrupted her.

"Nope. We're going to do it simultaneously. It'll be just fine. It's what I do. I do a good job. You know, I mean, I know how to do this stuff," Trump said. "We're going to repeal and replace it. And we're not going to have, like, a two-day period and we're not going to have a two-year period where there's nothing. It will be repealed and replaced. I mean, you'll know. And it will be great health care for much less money."

The "60 Minutes" interview will be broadcast on CBS at 6 p.m. CST Sunday.From chicagotribune.com

This is great news!! Too many illegal immigrants making you feel bad for owning your Nigerian passport and holding it high. Very soon, we shall know who be who 😈 if na to go hide for cupboard for one country everyone can do it. But many people have too much self esteem to. Yet they make you feel like you're not 'sharp' that's why.

You don't make sense,wat has this ur silly comment got to do wt Wat trump said here???ofcourse illegal immigrants can be deported but trump himself is an immigrant and same as his wife though not illegal cos they got their citizenship now.chikito stupid nitwit,so if any of your family lives in the US illegally,you will be happy for them to get deported cos of your own inferiority complex.use your Nigerian passport to travel by road to Ghana ok,you can only travel to US in your dreams.since you still get slapped by your mum like you said in one of your comments,I can imagine the kind of home you really come from....lol.teacher pikin.

Did anyone for a moment doubt that Trump will not carry out his promise? Then he is not a business man. He is a man of his words. If I were in those people's shoes, before he gets to me, I go carry my kaya de go.

He is right. In as much as there are good migrants, there are criminals, rapists, murderers and co. They should deport them already. Any illegal migrant that has a criminal record or under watch list should be deported.

@ peace maker It's usually people who are in Nigeria suffering and got no hope like you that enjoys wishing people who are better than you bad just cos you wish to be in their shoes but it's a dream you will never be able to achieve.you're happy for people to be deported,like seriously!!!!you must have an evil mind

Don't mind this asshole peace maker,millionaire my gorgeous ass,are you chikito with a different id.you people just like coming here to brag on a faceless forum.keep living your dreams here on sdk blog oo you hear cos it will never become reality.

Are you jealous of the Nigerians in the U.S? What is wrong with the increase of Minorities in U.S companies? You have extreme self-hate! Nobody is deporting anybody! Republicans makes billions from illegal immigration, especially in Agriculture and construction. This is politics as usual!

I am all for him deporting them. Every sensible nation should take care of and build her country for her people. Not like Nigeria where we have greedy people in power who are just after their own selves at the expense of her citizens.

No wonder a lot of white people voted for him. I think they sensed that he could help them chase away undocumented immigrants and criminals and " make America Great again".The ironical thing is that most of their ancestors were immigrants and undocumented when they came in.

Undocumented immigrants are illegal immigrants but are different from immigrants that are out of status. When you're given a visiting visa and you over stay you're out of status and become illegal. But when you don't even have a US visa and you waka through the borders or the ship etc to get into the US then you're an undocumented immigrant. There is no legal document to show that you came into the US. Most of them are caught through stop and search or after a criminal activity and there are over 10million undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Don't mind them they think it's easy to come and enjoy social security.these illegals don't get anything from the American government all they do is work for way less than the minimum wage and struggle to take care of their families . Funny thing is all the Americans complaining will still refuse to do the jobs this so called illegals do when they deport them. How many of them want to be maids, cleaning ladies or pickers in farms. I laugh in Spanish. they don't know what these illegals they like to bitch about do for their economies. I would like to see an entitled white man go work in the vineyards in California,
